      Let me start by saying I'm a complete newbie on Linux and this is the first time I've tried pfsense.

      Installation is being done on a Soekris net-6501-30 using a usb sandisk 4gb
      Installing pfsense 2.1.4-Release i386

      My first problem was booting stopped with mountroot error.  I found info on this and from the loader prompt typed -

      set kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"
      boot

      and it booted up and I'm able to log into the GUI, etc… no problem.  Now I want to make this command permanent.

      Second problem that I've not been able to figure out.
      When I go to diagnostics | edit file -
      browse - nothing happens
      type in /boot/loader.conf.local and load - says loading file and never changes

      So I thought I'd try using the Shell from serial connection -
      when I type edit /boot/loader.conf.local - it doesn't recognize that command

      Help!!!!
      Thanks

      Thanks,
      Frank
